I see that print methods have changed in for vb.net 2010. I have looked up and down the internet and have found many examples for earlier versions of vb, but these can not be used in 2010.
I can not use graphics.drawstring / printdocument method because I need to send escape sequences.
What tools/methods are available to build pcl stream from PDFs.We have a bunch of generated PDF files that get tied up into one big pdf.I need to generate a print job to print this with the ability to insert pcl escape sequences (to control paper feed and output bin stacking) per page. As of now we use the VB.Net printing classes, convert the PDF into a rasterized image using a third party tool to print. This does not allow us to insert PCL sequences into the print job.
So, basically, we need to process a bunch of PDFs, append them to the pcl and insert PCL commands as we go along. Is there a way to achieve this. Our application is written in VB.Net.

View 3 RepliesI have recently developed a serial port communication program to access my hardware firewall and its connected to the device via a converter usb to rs232head plugged to a rs232 to an ethernet cable. this ethernet cable then plugs into the device console port.
my program functions similar to that of TeraTerm. an opensource hyperterminal program written in C++ but i decided to do one for vb.net
Alright to cut the story short, i have successfully coded out the program to accept incomming data from the device but however, i'm also receiving ansi escape sequence along with it and i have no idea how i could implement codes to remove these. i have spend 3 weeks trying to look for vt100 emulation codes written in vb.net but i found none so far. most are written in c++. here's an image to illustrate the problem which im facing.
The image below is a screenshot taken when the i ran both the programs together. The bottom is tera term 3.1 and the top is my vb project which i made using msdn's example and improved on the codes. basically tera term was able to interpret those escape sequence and display accordingly to that of the vt100 terminal display. I have spent time reading on regular expressions using the inbuilt function regex in visual basic and tried parsing some strings but its not working. i guess its far more complex than i thought.
In C#, python and/or VB.net, how can write a method of a class that can accept different sequences of arguments? As an indication, the multiple choices of arguments sequence would be accessible when pressing shift+shift+space in visual studio.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to get a better understanding of the uses of arrays in programing, and have been wondering why do programmers use an array when working with mathematical concept such as Fibonacci sequences? why are arrays so prevalent in coding now a days.
View 3 RepliesRight, first of all I want to apologize for how bad this is going to sound but please bear with me.I have a folder named x, inside folder x there are numerous folders named 1,2,3 etc etc, inside these folders, there is either another folder named y with 20+ jpegs inside of it, or 20+ jpegs inside of the folder named 1,2,3 etc.
What I want to do, is navigate through the folders until i hit where the jpeg files are, select all the jpegs in the folder, and print them to my CutePDF Printer, and create a PDF with the name of the folder it is in.
[Code]...
As you can see, I've checked to make sure the path is correct and exists. If it does, i create an Array of all the folders inside of Folder X, and then get the number of files inside of the folder.After this I am stuck. What I believe I need to do, is open the first file in the array, and check to see whether the file inside is a folder, if it is, i need to open this folder, if it's not I want to select all the files and print them.Do you guys first of all understand what I want to do, and if so, do you believe it is possible to do this?
I am trying to print a report in vb. I have 4 columns on a report. I want to print by txtempID.text.
I have created a report viewer form and a report with 5 columns and headings on the report. I have a button on the form called PRINT.

The above image is the form looks alike. it has groupboxes. but it can't be displayed all at once in the form. so i make the form scrollable. but the problem is when i print preview it, it wud display like the below.[code]...

The exterior and interior are printing correctly and I tried to set the combo box up the same way.

View 1 RepliesI have written an application in which, among other things, there is a picture browser, allowing the user to load and look at pictures (jpeg-type). So I thought it would be nice if they could print their nice pictures too. And here is where all my problems started. I've tried almost all the code examples given to me, but none works. Isn't that strange?
I want:
a) The user will click the print button and the print dialogue will appear and thus enable him or her to choose wich printer to use
b) When the choice is made, click OK or PRINT or WHATEVER and the picture/photo will appear on a piece of paper which they can frame and hang on the wall or where ever
Yes I'm sounding sarcastic, and that is because I'm tired from lack of sleep, trying to make this happen. And I only have a few days to complete everything. To make it worse I haven't even started on the part where they are able to print text from textboxes on a form... Oh My God. for some reason I though printing something from an application would be the easy task when it comes to programming in VB. I was obviously wrong. It happens from time to time.

I have what is basically a text only printer (a Zebra 105SL) connected to my network at a static IP address. I have downloaded Zebra's Text only driver for it and set up a print queue named "Zebra North Text". I can print to that queue from Notepad just fine.
However, I am trying to print from a VB 2005 (soon to be upgraded to VB 2010 or VB 11) application. All of the standard VB sample printing code assumes I need to render the text in Fonts, etc, which just confuses the Text Driver.[code]...
